App rescue and performance

When important software is slow, unstable or stuck.

I help when an existing app or system is causing real trouble and the team needs another pair of experienced hands. We’ll start by finding out what is actually going wrong and what is safe to change. If it makes sense, I can then make the fix and help get it released.

Common warning signs

When the software struggles, the business usually feels it too.

01

Users are encountering slow screens, errors or crashes

02

A critical release keeps moving without a dependable plan

03

The original developer or agency is no longer available

04

A legacy integration makes every change feel risky

05

The internal team lacks capacity for one important milestone

06

A prototype now needs production-level reliability

How I tackle it

First, find out what’s really going on.

  1. 01

    Look at what people are seeing

    Review the symptoms, user impact, code, data, monitoring and recent releases.

  2. 02

    Find the issue that matters first

    Separate the problem holding things up from technical debt that can safely wait.

  3. 03

    Make the smallest safe fix

    Work across the app, backend, database or integration wherever the problem actually sits.

  4. 04

    Ship it and leave things clear

    Test the change, plan the rollout and document what the team needs to know next.

2 weeks early

Zero rollout downtime

A recent client example

A stuck desktop module shipped two weeks early.

The module launched two weeks ahead of deadline with zero rollout downtime, helping the company avoid a significant delay penalty.

“Noam was highly professional, self-sufficient, and dependable. He ramped up quickly, integrated effortlessly with our team, and helped us launch a complex desktop module two weeks ahead of deadline with zero rollout downtime.” Director of Product, Mid-Sized Software Company

When this works well

There’s a clear problem and someone can make decisions.

Usually a good fit

The software already exists, you can explain how the problem is affecting people and someone is available to make product or technical decisions.

Probably not a fit

You need a complete rewrite with no access to the current system, or nobody is available to answer questions and make decisions.

No need to diagnose it first

Tell me what’s going wrong.

Share what users or the team are seeing, who it affects and whether there’s a deadline. We can look at the code later.
